Hank, I have a Centurion AMP and had trouble using the keying loop. On cw
using the keying loop in the QSK mode on the amp, the cw keyed just fine.
But when I went to turn the rig off, and then turn it back on the rig would
not boot up. All the lights on the front panel would light up including the
TX led and the screen was blank.
Nothing I could do would bring the rig back on line. I finally powereed up
and held the USER 2 button as I powered up and then the rig went into the
flash update mode. I then had to reload the firmware. Be careful using the
keying loop with a Ten Tec
QSK amp. It would be best to use the PTT keying line and leave the keying
loop alone for now.
